Here is what we have been learning in fifth grade:
Daily 5/CAFE:
This week students will begin a new menu entitled, “Elena”
and “Journey to Nowhere”. Students will work on making character inferences and
practice summarizing the text. (RL5.2) They will also create a Double Bubble
thinking map to compare and contrast one character from each story. Students
will meet in strategy groups to work on CAFÉ strategies to improve vocabulary
and comprehension. "Tracks"
Writing:
Students will complete their own memoir later this week and
will begin to share them with the class.
Math: Students are learning to add, and
subtract decimals to hundredths place. They have been doing this using concrete
models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of
operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Then the
students have been relating the strategy to a written method and explaining
their reasoning used.
Social Studies: Students will begin a summative project that will last until track out. They will need to apply all of the knowledge that has been acquired thus far to complete this assignment. They will take a short answer test this Friday.
